The Sage Handbook of Decolonial Theory is a groundbreaking transdisciplinary resource that expands the epistemological and geographical horizons of decolonial thought. This handbook prioritizes the Global South, fostering South-North and South-South inter-epistemic dialogues and situating decolonial thought in sites of struggle. It builds on decolonial thought and praxis from Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, Asia, and Palestine, among other regions and countries. Addressing the erasure of knowledge production from the Global South in dominant academic spaces, this handbook brings together decolonial scholars and activist intellectuals from the Global South and engages with politically committed scholars in the Global North. It emphasizes the geopolitics and ethics of knowledge production and the importance of situating one’s work in historically excluded regions and communities.

Forthcoming book in 2025: Intersections of Conviviality: Voices from Communities

Edited by Marina Gržinić, Jovita Pristovšek, Asma Aiad, and Anahita Neghabat

Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2025

This book explores the nuanced dynamics that shape conviviality and examines the different ways in which individuals within communities navigate the challenges of the neoliberal, racializing European landscape by forming alliances that transcend identity, geographical and cultural boundaries. This book offers a very renewed reflection on different communities that are largely marginalized, Black and POC communities, Muslim communities and Trans*, building their context around identities such as migration, LGBTQI+ etc. and thinking out loud about institutional and structural racism, inequalities and also empowerment. Through personal narratives, academic analysis and artistic expression, the book creates a map of stories and narratives that celebrate the potential of communities and conviviality as a way forward. This book aims to make the voices of these communities heard and provides a platform for their stories, struggles, collective experiences, hopes and visions for the future.

Dissident Histories. Insurgent Futurities

Exhibition: 08 10 2024 – 15 12 2024 

Marina GRŽINIĆ with Aina ŠMID, Tjaša KANCLER, Jovita PRISTOVŠEK

The central reference point around which the concept of Marina Gržinić’s exhibition was organized is the process of reassessing our perspective on the changes taking place in art and culture under the weight of migration. Irreversible.

At the heart of the exhibition lies a focal point on the 40-year journey of video-film and installation work by Marina Gržinić and Aina Šmid. This showcase not only celebrates their collaborative oeuvre, which began in 1982 and has left a profound artistic and political impact across former Yugoslavia, Slovenia, and beyond, but also introduces a fresh collaborative venture involving Marina Gržinić, Tjaša Kancler, and Jovita Pristovšek, which began in 2022.
